Welcome to the Society for the Psychological Study of Men and Masculinity (SPMM), Division 51 of the American Psychological Association. I am very excited to be President of the Division for 2014. I am a longstanding member of the division and have continued to be both intellectual and personally fulfilled by my involvement. By the focus of this division, we are able to explore important issues in society. In fact, many of our members have been featured in the press.

If you are not a current member of the division, I hope you will explore joining. We have an excellent and impactful divisional journal, The Psychological Study of Men and Masculinity, as well as many ways for involvement as a student and professional. We are starting our first mentorship academy and have an active student group.

As President for 2014, I am excited for the opportunity to create opportunities for interactions regarding important issues in Men and Masculinity. My goals are the following:

1. Enhance recruitment and retention of new members.
2. Increase inter-divisional collaborations
3. Increasing diverse perspectives and multicultural research on men and masculinity.
4. Bring attention and research to men’s role in human sex trafficking.
   

If you are interested in being part of the division or if you would like to become more involved please contact me.
